The Federal Republic of Lion875 is a very large, pleasant nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, digital currency, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed population of 350 million Lion875ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 54.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Lion875ian economy, worth 18.1 trillion catnips a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 51,715 catnips, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés, and internet trolls are considered valiant supporters of the right to free speech. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lion875's national animal is the Meowing Cats.

Lion875 is ranked 179,441^st in the world and 672^nd in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 376.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
